I like effortless dressing without a lot of fuss. Although I would categorize my style as simple, I wouldn’t say it is basic—far from. I love a good basic, but as a whole, there is something timeless and elegant about a minimalist look. I stock my wardrobe with uncomplicated pieces, so during the grand rush of a weekday morning, I can pull together looks that look like a million bucks and can be styled seamlessly with each other in a variety of ways. A great knitwear piece goes with everything from jeans to trousers to a midi skirt. A faux-leather trench coat can be mixed with a dressier outfit for date night as easily as it can with a sweat suit and sneakers on the weekend. These are the types of simple items that make up a well-organized wardrobe and, for me, make outfitting a breeze. 

As we are soon to welcome a new year, I am adding a few things into my closet and letting you in on my special finds. My shopping list includes an oversize wool coat (winter has just started, after all), a barn jacket inspired by the Miu Miu S/S 24 runway, a new pair of Levi’s, and much more. There might be some trend-inspired items sprinkled in the mix, but overall everything possesses an easy feel that defines simplistic dressing.
